A family connection has been revealed between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, who are running for president of the United States: A study conducted by the Israeli high-tech company MyHeritage found that the Republican and Democratic candidates, who are facing each other during the US presidential race, are actually relatives.
This is not the only surprising discovery in the study.
It turns out that Trump and Clinton are descendants of the royal family, the result of an affair between King Edward III's son, Duke of Lancaster John of Gaunt, and his mistress - 18 generations back in time.
